Questions & Answers
Can I use this on a 9mm build? Manufacturer Answer

yes. the MI-BC556 will work fine with 1/2x28 9mm guns. we made the MI-BC9 for the colt smg pattern barrels and some others that still use the 1/2x36 thread pitch.

How does the muzzle brake attach/time once this blast can is attached? Manufacturer Answer

Using the Provided crush washer, tighten until the MI label is straight up. there is no need to really "time" it as the blast can has no real orientation other than how it looks logo wise.

These things are fantastic!!! by Casey Osborn, Verified Owner, February 24, 2019
I use these on my 300blk pistol and 556 pistol builds. I get the handguard about 2-2.5" longer than the barrel so the blast can protrudes out the end of the handguard. Not only do I really like the look, but when dealing with short pistol length barr...

Great tool by Vin D, Verified Owner, August 21, 2020
The build quality of this item is great. I like that it has the grooves on the outside that makes it easier grasp and tighten down. You can also use a wrench to tighten as well. What I really like is that the inside of the tube is tapered rather t...

Excellent! by M, January 13, 2020
Ordered this for my 8.1” pistol build and it is fantastic for directing that brain jarring concussion from the short barrel. Finish is great, figment was perfect and it looks mean. The shooters next to you will thank you as well!

Heavy but made well by Ricky Barnwartz, April 26, 2020
Decent price and does the job well. It’s heavy if that’s a concern as it may negatively impact the balance of an AR-15 pistol. Installation was easy, just take your time and use the proper tools. Gorilla tape helped me not to scratch the blast can.

Nice Can for the price by Hawk, December 28, 2020
Have 2 of these. One on my 5.56 and one on a 9mm build. Works great and looks great. I have shorter barrels and longer handguards on my guns. This can sticks out the end of my handguards and gives my guns a really good look.

MI Blast Can (will fit 9mm!!) by Jerbear, Verified Owner, January 23, 2019
Tight fit under my Foxtrot Mike's handguard but man does it look great! I won't be using those front M-lok slots due to the tight fit but that's fine with me. I was a bit worried this would need bored out to pass a 9mm round but I read somewhere that...
